so after scouring some other forums, and maybe its been mentioned but I have found what seems to be a permanent fix for the "clutch pop" problem.
All you do is put a decent sized lock washer behind #7 in this diagram (as in closest to the outer left casing), moving the ramp further towards the push rod and actuator mechanisms. This closes any free room that the 3 ball bearing piece had to "jump" from the ramps outwards.
when you go to adjust the flathead screw and locknut outside, there will no longer be a "loose" feeling to the double sided bolt, just tension and a lot of tension. If you can feel out when it is engaging the pressure plate and set it correctly (1/4 turn back from pushing the plate) you will be all set. I tried everything until this and havent had a pop in 2 weeks so far with heavy riding. Thank god for the internet.
I think a regular washer would work as well, but a lock washer keeps some tension on the #7 piece.
